Hello.

If the page size is 4K,  block size is 2 (block size bytes 8K), and order is 6,
then we need 2 pages for the tag. However according to the equation, order_to_num_blocks
is 2 and block_size is also 2, so end block will be incremented by 4.

However we actually only need 8K of tag, right for 256K ?
Could you explain order_to_num_blocks * region->block_size more detail ?

Thanks,
Regards.
